IA NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

w hen one has been suffering the agonies
OF a severe attack Of rheumatism, neural
gla orsciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
II new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings Of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure7these diseases. I
AT Dubuque, Iowa, the druggists say Ath-
lophoros beats them all. We thought it
would befke many other rheumatic medi-
clnes that have been put on the market,
sell fora while then, gradually sink out Of
our memory. But such is not the case
with Athlophoros, instead of our sales
diminishing they increase, and what makes
US have more faith in its future mission is
that our customers come back and praise
its good work in the highest terms. Said
one druggist to the writer: Y" 7" Ny confidence
is SO great in Athlophoros that I often sell
bottle with the understanding that if it
is not satisfactory will refund the money.
l have never yet had to pay the money
back" Mrs. G. J. Alabeck, 1867 Clay
Street, Dubuque, Iowa, says: 81 was sub
ject to frequent attacks Of infammatory
rheumatism and have been nearly all my
lie, at times l would be almost helpless.
When commenced with the Athlophoros
was carrying my arm in sling, l could
not move my fingers without causing me
pain. One evening while suffering this
way heard of Athlophoros. Thenext day
sent for bottle. was a little afraid Of
it at first ON account of the buzzing sensa-
ton it caused in my head, but it worked
like charm, the swelling and the pain
were gone, my rheumatism was we'll. It
is now a year and a half, and I have not
suffered any since"
Every druggist should keep Athloph oros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., l12 Wall st., New York, will
regular price, which is $1.oo per bottle
for Athlophoros and Soc. for Pills.
For, For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia: IL, IT,

Wales and America.

The Prince of Wales is, perhaps, the
firmest friend of America among the
English. He is man Of the world,
more Partisan when in Paris than the
Parisians, but his open sympathy with
Americans is founded upon shrewd
forecast of the future. To one Of his
suite, now resident in New York. the
Prince stated in plain terms rnat he
never expected to be King of England,
nor did he leave his interlocutor doubt
full as to whether he meant that his
mother would outlive him or that En-
gland was destined to become a re-
public. ''Another nail in the coffin of
the monarchy" he sententiously re-
marked when the engagement Of the
Princess Louise to the Marquis OF
Lorne was announced to him.

To Live Ninety-Six Years.

A number of anecdotes are related
codcerning Emperor Williams long
life and the possible number Of years
still left to him. One, illustrating
popular superstition, is worth repeat
ing. 1t is to the effect that at the
time Of the Furtenstag at Frankfort,
in 1868, King William, one day, walk
ing in the nei yhborhood of Badcn-Bad-
ell accompanied by Herr Won Bismarck
and Il number of ladies and gentle
men, passed gypSy's tent. One of
the ladies exclaimed: :
THAT is where tho famous. gypsy
girl Preciosa tells fortunes
The party, who were all in walking
dresses, entered the tent and had
their fortunes told in succession, the
King, whose identity was concealed,
coming last. PrccioSa held his hand Il
long while in silence, and then she
said:
II see q great crown, great victo-
ries, and great age. You will live
nincty-slx years, but your last days
will bring much trouble and much
sorrow.'
The King forgot all about the proph-
ecy until 1884, when, at 4 ball of the
Russian Embassy at Berlin, the Hun
garian Countess Erdody, whose moth
er was Tsigane, Was presented to
him. During a long conversation
it was incidentally mentioned that the
Countess possessed the gift of ehir-
omancy. The Emperor held out his
hand, and the Countess. after exam
lining the lines, gravely said:
''Your Majesty is destined to live
96 years y
The Emperor, it is added, was
much struck by the coincidence.
According to the Vienna 7agblatt,
physicians of the Emperor have de-
clared that he has no organic failing,
and there is nothing to prevent him
attaining to the age of one hundred
years, provided he takes care Of him.
self. But this is just what he does
not do.
According to authentic statistics,
there are at present in the Kingdom OF
Prussia no less than five thousand
persons over ninety years of age; six
hundred of them arc ten years older
than the Emperor.
In all parts of Prussia there are
plenty of people between ninety and
nincty-fve. The oldest are to be
found in the provinces Of Posen, ST.
lesia, and East and West Prussia

AIligat tor ia tile,

"a fierce and bloody fight between
alligators was the rare sport witnessed
at Coatesville few days ago by ono
+ of the attendants in DR.. Huston's gar
den in that borough. Each of the COM
batants measured over five feet in
length, and had been living for eight
gears; peaceably together in "a great
tankwhich DR.. Huston had constructed
for them near his house. They were
natives of Florida, and were brought
from that country when small by DR..
Huston. For some weeks, however,
the two great reptiles had been show
ing signs of discomfort with each other,
but no one anticipated the terrible and
fatal termination of this curious quarrel
One day the attention of the gardener,
!, who was at work near the tank, was
attracted by a commotion in the water,
and looking up he saw that the two
alligators were engaged in u desperate
struggle. The man rushed to the spot,
but was powerless to stop the light,
which was raging so fercely that tho
water was lashed into foam and tho
greenhouse was splashed in every direo-
ton. The largest of the combatants
was seeking to get the body of the
smaller alligator in his wide open jaws,
but the latter was always too quick to
be caught, and moved round and round,
striking the big reptile with his tail,
and sometimes getting his enemy's legs
In his jaws and biting them. The tank
was soon redeemed with the blood
which flowed from the wounds inflicted
in this curious contest.
The gardener attempted to separate
the maddened contestants by batting
them with long pole; but they paid
40 attention to his attempt at diversion
and went on with their fight only more
desperately. They rolled over each
other, sometimes in the water and at
times on the bank in the mud. but al
ways lashing with their tails. The
smaller and more agile of the two con-
tinued to bite the legs and body of the
big alligator, and the latter moved
about slowly, seeking to make a sue
cessful grab at his opponents body.
Their sleepy eyes had become bright
and snappy, and it was evident that the
tight waste be to the death. At last, in an
effort to snap at the swinging tail of the
larger, the small alligator fell over on
his side, and before he could get out Of
the way the big jaws of his enemy were
closed upon him with snap.
Then occurred the most curious part of
the battle. Raising himself slightly
7pon his fore feet the big alligator lifted
the smaller one from the surface of the
water and shook him as dog would
shake rat-shook him until it seemed
chat his tail would be hurled off, and
Until, in fact, his back was broken and
ae lay dead and limp in those great
avs. Then the big animal dropped
The body and moved of: to sun himself.

a Mistake Somewhere.

4sOh, You dear, darling old papa!'
exclaimed the fair-haired daughter OF
a Mob Hill plutocrnt. You know
how much wanted those lovely sap
phires, and it was SO good Of you to
buy them. ~.. .
''But, my darling, have not bought
any sapphires for you," said the fond
papa, with puzzled look on his
face.
"Oh, you tried to keep it secret,

Acres of Teeth.

"Come with me-" said Press Agent
Day of Forepaugh's to Chicago Herald
reporter. Ibid you never see an acre
Of teeth? No? Then I will show YOU
one-yes, two acres, almost a 1O-acre
ot."
Then Press Agent Day led the way
Up the track which surrounds the two
:ings and platform in the circus tent
The performance was going on, aud the
two clowns, one made up as bear,
were going through their really comic
maneuyres and limitations of the
Blondin horse. Interesting as this bit
of pantomime was, it could not compare
for picturesqueness with the scene
presented on the other side of the ring.
There, stretched out upon the hillside
of seats, was the oft-heard of "sea Of
faces.' Always rather startling to one
who beholds it for the first time, this
ocean of countenances, sparkling with
thousands of eyes, and looking so white
by contrast with the darker shades of
clothing and the soot-stained canvas,
now took on an aspect doubly strange.
In each face there appeared to be still
whittier streak, a horizontal line which
seemed almost to glitter.
"There," exclaimed the circus agent.
''look at that for half acre of teeth.
That is a scene to make dentist weary,
and in a circus is tho only place you
can find it. Theatre audiences do not
grin and show their teeth like that,
except up in tho gallery. where you
can't see them. Walk along over there
by the reserved seats and you'll not see
any such display as this. Tho people
Mho sit there don't grin, either, or at
least don't open their mouths. But
even this crowd over here on the gen.
eral benches is nothing to what you may
see in the country. Look carefully and
you'll perceive that not more than ono
spectator in three is showing his teeth;
in the rural districts nine out of ten do
whenever anything real funny is going
on in the ring. If l was to 60 to sleep
for six months, and you were to take
me inside circus tent in front of tho
crowds, could tell whether we were
in a city or in q country town by simply
noting the display of teeth along the
benches"
